In addition, according to a reporter with the Huffington Post, Shelby is advocating for a write-in campaign for sitting Senator Luther Strange, the Republican who lost to Moore during the Sept. 26 GOP runoff.

Shelby endorsed Strange before the runoff against Moore, the former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice who won that election by a 54.6-45.4 percent margin.

Richard Shelby says the accounts of the women accusing Roy Moore are "believable."
